| Obama Says He Is 'ultimately' Responsible For Benghazi Security |
| 2012-10-28 |
| President Obama on Saturday vowed to hold his administration "accountable" for September's attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, saying he took ultimate responsibility for any security lapses. "What my attitude on this is is if we find out there was a big breakdown and somebody didn't do their job, they'll be held accountable," said Obama in an interview with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, according to a report on that network's website. "Ultimately as Commander-in-Chief I am responsible and I don't shy away from that responsibility," Obama added. The full interview, conducted after a rally in Nashua, N.H., is slated to air on Monday. As he says about Romney, "He lies." |

| #11 So what! When we start having us jetliners shot down will he still stand up to it? He has hurt our country to no end with this novice attempt at arm dealing. I hope he rots in hell. |

| #8 Does anyone else find it odd that Ogabe distances himself from himself, speaking about himself almost in the third person? As if he requires a full investigation to discover his own state of mind and the actions he personally did or did not take. He makes the words "I am responsible" come out of his mouth, but only to pinpoint the "somebody" who screwed up. He speaks as if he is an external observer, just determined to go after the culprit, premised on the assumption that it couldn't possibly have been the guy at the top. Like a six-year-old making excuses and trying to evade punishment for breaking a vase, even in the face of evidence that no one else could have done it. It will be interesting to see who he ultimately blames - especially if he loses the election - because he'll never accept responsibility. |

| #2 Hell, if that post we had earlier is right, Champ was in the room watching the video feed. How much investigation does he need to do? What is he going to do, waterboard himself? |
